A staple in Mexican music, Mexican Institute of Sound has released his highly-anticipated album, Distrito Federal (D.F.), a love letter to his beloved city.
The new album plays homage to the city he once knew and memories from the past from a city he loved and now only lives in his memories stored in his mind like an old polaroid or songs we heard as children, places we visited, food we enjoyed, and people who shaped us.
Distrito Federal was recorded in México, Colombia, Los Angeles, Los Cabos and San Francisco featuring a wide variety of special guests such as renowned artist, Graham Coxon on ‘My America Is Not Your America’ or La Banda Misteriosa from Oaxaca in a new version of, ‘The Lunatics’, besides Cuco’s hypnotizing voice on ‘Paloma’ and BIA and Duckwrth on ‘Vamos’. There is room for musical genres to fade and acquire a homogeneous corporeity, the nuances are so many that it becomes a one of a kind album. Without a doubt, a journey in which Camilo takes us by the hand and that each time we listen we savor more. Guests like Dan The Automator, Joe Crepúsculo or Sergio Mendoza give the necessary final touches to the album.
The album’s artwork was created by Urbano Mata, a Mexican cartoonist. The artwork takes you through a Mexico that has already lived through the ancient codes, which have been a fundamental part of the country’s history and make their colorful appearance in one of the most surprising releases in the album’s artwork.
